three

Psalm 37:3-4
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness, Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”


Trust in Jesus. He will give you the desires of your heart. There are desires in your heart that no one knows about. Not even you. Some days we think we know what we want. We argue and fight with God that things aren’t happening quick enough or slow enough as if we know our hearts better than He knows our hearts. Don’t forget that God in His infinite love and wisdom and knowledge knows the stuff in your heart that you don’t even know you desire. I’m talking about the deep deep down dreams and desires and ideas that you don’t even know you have or want yet. You haven’t even thought of them! How absolutely fab!! He knows what you truly want in the parts of your heart you don’t even know exist.

So in the meantime, do what He says: TRUST in the Lord: don’t look to the circumstances or the reality, but rather His promises to take care of you and be with you always. DO GOOD things: make the world around you and beyond you a better place. DWELL in the land: live here on this messed up earth, take care of it, but always “feed” (draw all you need) from His faithfulness rather than relying on the earth you live in. DELIGHT yourself in Him: make Him the highest level of joy in your day. Love on Him, laugh with Him, enjoy His company and Word and presence… then He promises to give you what you want. What a sweet and kind God we have.
